Abrams, known for their nimble stoner-friendly sludge sound, have undergone a significant transformation with their latest album, Loon.

Gone is the wistful post-metal grandeur of their previous work, replaced by a full-throated fury that rejects apathy and complacency.

The Colorado quartet's sound has become a spitting, screaming sludgecore bulldozer, fueled by ferocious double-kicks and angular guitar noise.

On Loon, Abrams deliver some of the hardest and heaviest songs they've ever committed to tape.

Tracks like "Glass House" are a testament to their newfound ferocity, with pulsating energy that's nothing short of thrilling.

"White Walls" combines spiky post-punk overtones with gritty vocals, while "Last Nail" is an exhilarating bolt of post-everything rock.

The album's remaining songs maintain the quality and distinctiveness of Abrams' subtle transformation.

From the dreamy and restrained "A State Of Mind" to the sprightly and awkward "Remains", Loon offers a compelling mix of melody and destruction.

With their ability to forge connections with the listener still intact, thanks in part to Taylor Iverson and Zachary Amster's soulful vocals, Abrams prove that even in a fractious world, music can be both cathartic and essential.

Abrams' transformation is undeniable, but Loon offers much more than empty-head wrath.

It's an album about rejecting apathy and embracing the rage that's been building inside us all.

With its unapologetic fury and razor-sharp focus, Loon is a fitting soundtrack to our uncertain times.
